UW-Green Bay researchers have established successful ongoing collaborations with regional governmental agencies and conservation organizations, including the U. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.
Forest Service, U. National Park Service, U. Department of Agriculture, U. The UW-Green Bay Cofrin Library collection is strong in all areas of environmental studies, but particularly so in environmental policy and administration. Students wishing to switch between Thesis, Internship, and Course-Based Options must amend their GR forms accordingly and, pending committee approval, can apply earned credits interchangeably toward degree completion. Credits earned from undergraduate courses cannot be directly applied toward the graduate degree.
The goal of the Accelerated Program is to encourage high performing students in the above undergraduate programs to continue their graduate studies at UW-Green Bay.
However, applications are reviewed by the Admissions Committee once in the fall and once in the spring semester only. Priorities for research and teaching assistantships are given to students who apply by October 1 for enrollment the following spring semester , and March 1 for fall semester enrollment. All students are encouraged to gain a better understanding of the culture and educational environment at UW-Green Bay by visiting the campus.
Graduate School staff can help arrange meetings with potential advisors, attend a graduate class, meet with other graduate students, and tour our facilities. Therefore, prerequisite courses appropriate to the Area of Emphasis are required for admission. Applicants who do not meet the minimum requirements may be admitted if their academic record and letters of reference indicate potential for successful completion of the program.
The Thesis Option is designed for students who wish to pursue advanced research opportunities in the broad realm of environmental science and policy or related disciplines. This option should be considered by students whose career goals will ultimately require formal and dedicated research training from a hypothesis-driven framework.
All Thesis Option students accepted into the Environmental Science and Policy program are required to successfully complete the following set of core courses. Those who lack appropriate prerequisites may need to take additional courses to strengthen their background before taking a core class. Thesis students should begin to develop a thesis committee and thesis proposal in collaboration with their major professor. Thesis Option students should select a Thesis Committee as early as possible i.
Committee members from outside an accredited university should have a PhD or M. If the change is acceptable to both outgoing and incoming Committee members, the student must notify the Office of Graduate Studies in writing. The thesis proposal is a formal document that provides an overview of the planned study.
It must include an explanation of the research problem, issue, or situation to be addressed, its relevance or application, and the methods and resources that will be used in completing the project. On or before the successful completion of twenty-one credits of course work, the student prepares the proposal, using the Guidelines for Preparing the Proposal provided by the Office of Graduate Studies.
The thesis proposal must be successfully defended to the graduate committee in both oral and written formats. Approval of the thesis proposal places the student into candidacy for the degree. Thesis Option students must take a minimum of 6 thesis credits in addition to the program core and electives.
Students may only register for thesis credits with an approved proposal on file. Enrollment for thesis credits may be for one to six credits per term and may be spread over several terms as appropriate. The defense helps the committee to judge whether the student has adequately understood and seriously attempted to solve a significant problem.
After a satisfactory defense, the student will initiate the Approval of Thesis Defense or Project Presentation GR-4 Form to seek committee approval and signatures for the student's records. A dissenting signature must be accompanied by an explanation from the dissenting member. A candidate is considered to have passed his or her thesis defense only after all issues have been resolved and the completed GR-4 Form is returned to the Office of Graduate Studies.
The thesis is a formal document and must be prepared to conform to UW-Green Bay library requirements and graduate program standards. In preparing the thesis document, students should carefully follow the Style and Format Requirements for the Master of Science Thesis. Guidelines can be found under the Student Resources web page. The Internship-Based Option M. The Internship Option is appropriate for students seeking applied experience in the field or laboratory, generally outside of the university setting.
Examples of students that should consider this option include those seeking to blend environmental science and policy with sustainable business applications, outreach and education, policy development and environmental regulation, promotion of clinical environmental health and regulation of environmental contaminants, environmental consulting, invasive species management, ecosystem restoration or landscape design.
Internship Option graduate students are expected to locate, pursue and complete an internship in a setting most aligned with their future career goals. The internship must incorporate a significant independent project to complement coursework.
Examples of hosts for internship-based projects include local business, federal agencies Fish and Wildlife Service, Geological Survey or non-profit organizations.
Internship Option students accepted into the Environmental Science and Policy program are required to successfully complete the following set of core courses. Electives counting toward the degree can be selected from the selected area of emphasis e. Internship Option students should enroll for a minimum of 6 internship credits that coincide with internship activities.
Environmental Science and Policy Internship Option students should select a committee during the first or second semester. The internship proposal is a formal document that provides an overview of the planned project.
It must include an explanation of the problem, issue, or situation to be addressed, its relevance or application, and the methods and resources that will be used in completing the project. The internship proposal must be successfully defended to the graduate committee in both oral and written formats.
Internship Option students must take a minimum of six internship credits in addition to the program core and electives. Students may only register for internship credits with an approved project proposal on file. Ideally, the duration of an internship should be part-time hours per week for a full academic calendar year or full time hours per week during a single summer semester.
